Michael’s last romance was with Come Fly With Me actress Aisling, from April 2018 to early 2019.
Aisling and Sheen were spotted enjoying the Olivier Awards in London in April, although they didn’t arrive together or walk the red carpet.
An onlooker at the event said of the pair: ‘They stayed close all evening and Michael leaped to her defense when a reveller smashed a glass near her, making sure she was OK.’

He and Sarah felt in ‘different ways’ that they wanted to ‘get more involved’ in the political climate after Brexit and Donald Trump’s election.
‘It led to me wanting to address the issues that I thought led some people to vote the way they did about Brexit, in the area I come from and others like it,’ he said.
‘I felt a responsibility to do something, but it did mean coming back here — which was difficult for us, because we were very important to each other.
‘But we both acknowledge that each of us had to do what we needed to do.’
Sarah, 48, was the one to reveal Michael had briefly split from Aisling back in September 2018, during a chat on on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
The American funnywoman also joked that she still hooks up with British actor Michael when he’s in Los Angeles.
Amicable: Michael has a 20-year-old daughter with Kate Beckinsale who he dated from 1995-2003 (above in 2001)
Openly discussing her dating life with her ex, Sarah was incredibly positive about her mutual split from The Masters of Sex actor and explained that long distance was to blame but they’re still friends.
The comedienne shared: ‘I was with Michael [Sheen]. We broke up over Christmas. As you know, he moved back to the UK and his life is really there and my life is really not there.’
Perhaps sharing a little too much, she added: ‘But I love him to pieces and you know if he’s in town and we’re both single, we will make love.’
In February 2018, Sarah announced their split on Twitter, writing: ‘The great @michaelsheen & I consciously uncoupled over Christmas. I mean, not ‘over Christmas’ – like that wasn’t the fight that ended it. No fight. We just live in different countries & it got hard.’
‘Felt we should just tell y’all so u stop askin, ‘How’s Michael/How’s Sarah?”’ wrote Silverman, who lives in Los Angeles, whereas Sheen is based out of the U.K.
Friendly exes: In December 2016 Kate revealed she was so close to Michael that she was planning on spending Christmas with the Welsh actor and Sarah in their Los Angeles home (pictured May 2016)
The pair met while filming Showtime’s Master of Sex Together in 2014. Michael had lived in Hollywood for over a decade but returned to the U.K. when his daughter Lily turned 18 and began attending college at New York University.
She had previously said how Michael had ‘wanted to go home,’ as ‘he was here to be near his daughter, now she’s off, she’s going to start her own life.’
Michael has a 20-year-old daughter with Kate Beckinsale and his exes include another Hollywood star, Rachel McAdams.
Michael and Pearl Harbour actress Kate, 45, dated from 1995-2003, with the pair maintaining a famously amicable relationship.
In December 2016 Kate revealed she was so close to Michael that she was planning on spending Christmas with the Welsh actor and Sarah in their Los Angeles home.
The actress laughed off claims their close bond is strange, saying they’ve been apart longer than they’d ever been together.
Kate told ES Magazine : ‘It’s so normal for us. We split up ages ago. We have been not together far longer than we were ever together. But I really love him and like him and we make each other roar with laughter.’
The Love & Friendship star had nothing but praise for comedienne Sarah.
‘I really love his girlfriend as well and we are lucky we both get on, and Lily gets on great with her — having as many strong females in your teenage daughter’s life as possible is a good thing’, she enthused.
The actress said in an interview with InStyle magazine in 2004: ‘We were very lucky in that we didn’t have an acrimonious split.
‘We are still very close and [our daughter] sees us around each other. He’s absolutely one of my most favourite people ever.
‘I love him dearly – I would miss him dreadfully if he wasn’t in my life.’
In 2011, Michael said of his ex: ‘Kate will always be one of the most important people in my life. I have real love for her.’
Kate has also previously described her relationship with ‘fantastic’ Sarah and Michael as ‘basically family’.
She told Stylist magazine: ‘I don’t know why everyone was so surprised.
‘Sarah’s such a fantastic woman, I love her and Michael and I have gotten on for years now. I’ve known him since I was 22, we’re basically family.
‘The thing that surprised me was what a big deal everybody made about us all getting on and then thinking, “F**k, that’s really sad if it’s that unusual.’
Michael dated The Notebook star Rachel, 40, from October 2010 to February 2013.
The pair first met when they worked together on Woody Allen’s critically-acclaimed Midnight In Paris.
Speaking previously about the relationship, Rachel had said that while the long-distance aspect of their romance was difficult, they did their best to manage it.
She said: ‘Michael and I never spend more than three weeks apart – we rack up a lot of air miles – but you have to be quite adaptable in this business whether you are in a relationship or not.
‘Trying to establish roots somewhere is a bit of a joke.’
Rachel added that the key to the couple’s successful relationship is communication, adding: ‘You need to trust each other and be able to talk to each other and be best friends.’
Meanwhile, Michael had previously said that Rachel is a ‘genuinely lovely lady, as well as being stunningly beautiful and very talented.’
However their relationship was not all been plain sailing, as Michael revealed he quit Twitter because of cruel comments about why such a beautiful woman would date him.
